Douglas is a very good question and I certainly agree with your list. The heavy weight of course Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier still come to mind that their styles were fighting a constant pressure. Aaron Pryor, Harry Greb, Henry Armstrong, Stanley Ketchel, Khaos Galaxy, Gene Fullmer, Carmen Basillio, Mickey Walker, Lou Ambers, Tony Canzoneri, Ruben Olivares, Roberto Duran, are also well noted for combatants pressure is too much. Here's my personal top 10: 1. Henry Armstrong 2. Harry Greb 3. Khosa Galaxy 4. Aaron Pryor 5. Rocky Marciano 6. Ruben Olivares 7. Terry McGovern 8. Joe Frazier 9. Stanley Ketchel 10. Jack Dempsey Honorable Mention: Tom Sharkey, Ad Wolgast, Billy Petrolle. Roberto Duran, Jeff Fenech, Ace Hudkins, Battling Nelson, Bob Montgomery, Gene Fullmer, Carmen Basillio, Jeff Fenech, Mickey Walker, Lou Ambers, Tony Canzoneri.
